Budget Arena: Guildgates (Standard, Magic Arena)


Last time we were in Ravnica, we had Maze's End but this time around, we've got a decent amount of payoffs for playing guildgates. 

These four payoffs are cheap and actually make it worth having such a a slow mana base.

$ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00

The deck definitely has power and recursion in Gate Colossus but this deck really can't beat decks that get underneath it's gameplan. The deck only interacts with Gates Ablaze and a singleton copy of Expansion // Explosion. This deck in best of one is kind of shaky against mono red which you all know for a fact theres a few copies of that deck running around on the ladder. It's wonderful that this deck is also absurdly cheap!

See you at the next one!
